About Asunción time
Asunción keeps one clock.
Asunción, the capital of Paraguay (PYST), runs on UTC-3 year-round, making it easy to remember for remote teammates in the Americas. Business hours follow a classic Latin American rhythm with a midday break, while the city's subtropical warmth keeps afternoons long. Its steady offset means no daylight saving adjustments—one less thing for global teams to track.
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about Asunción's time zone, daylight saving rules, and scheduling across it. Can't find what you need? Email [email protected].
- Why doesn't Asuncía observe daylight saving time?
- Paraguay stays on UTC-3 permanently, skipping DST changes. Remote teams never need to adjust meeting invites across seasons.
- How does siesta culture overlap with Asuncia time zone?
- Afternoon breaks typically fall after 12–2 PM local time (still 10–11 AM Eastern US), so morning syncs stay productive.
- Is Asuncia always in the same zone as Buenos Aires?
- Not anymore—Argentina shifted away from UTC-3 in 2009, leaving Paraguay as the steadier neighbor for scheduling consistency.
- What's the evening overlap with European teams?
- After 5 PM in Asunción catches the tail end of CET workdays; early-morning syncs need Europe to join pre-9 AM.
- How far is Asuncia from the equator?
- At 25°S, Asunción gets moderate seasonal daylight swings (around 9–14 hours), but they don't trigger DST shifts.
- Why do some apps show PYST instead of PYT?
- PYT is UTC-4 (winter), PYST is UTC-3; Paraguay stopped switching between them in 2024, so '+03' is now standard.
- Can I book a meeting at 11 AM without checking?
- Thanks to no DST, 11 AM Asuncía is always 8 AM New York in summer and 9 AM in winter—easy to auto-convert.
